Lighting a match and lighting a candle are similar in that they both produce light. However, there is a big difference between the two.
A lit match provides a spark and will last about a minute until it consumes itself. It is an exciting moment that produces a short term effect. Lighting a candle may take a while if the wick isn’t set perfect. However, once lit, it will last a long time. The slow burn allows you to keep your eyes open and see what is in front of you.
The things in life which are worth it are more like a candle, as opposed to a match. You need to be in your relationship, your business, your passion for the long haul in order to reach the payoff.
Yes, you will need the occasional match, but make sure you light some candles along the way so you can see your dreams come true.
